Holy crap. A wooden hoist?!?! Insane in the membrane.

This is so awesome!! Definitely the most interestingly engineered build I've ever seen

Bravo sir, bravo!!! I love your drive to do things yourself. Right there with you man. Rock on! That's a great hoist you made. I'll be interested to see how you get what's left of the jeep subsystems to work without all of the modules present. Keep posting these awesome pics.

Blown away by that home made hoist set up.

Thanks, it does the job! I was nervous but it's holding solid. If I will be leaving the body like this for a while I may add a couple supports directly underneath.

 

[Big Bad Wolf]

This is cool. Keep posting photos of your progress

Thanks. Will do! I may post videos too.

Great build! Which Bedliner did you go with? And brush or spray?

Thanks!

I think the original product was made by "EZ Liner". It came in a box with a bag of grit. I painted it on with a roller and brushes. I also used it in my wheel wells and it held up pretty good. I will note a couple chips in the product in the wheel wells introduced some rust but I'm not certain if it has spread underneath.

Regardless concerning the wheel wells I am grinding it all off and using POR-15 and top coating this with a bedliner made by POR-15. I may even add rattle can rubber style rocker guard just to make it insanely durable and easy to touch up.

I used a roller brush along with a regular brush. It's pretty thick so it left no streaks etc. The goal is to paint over the green color inside and make it black. I may use POR-15 Bedliner over my existing but only if it can bond properly.

There has got to be some kind of award for the wildest undertaking of a Jeep build. This is by far the most work I have seen anybody do in a home garage EVER!
I am saving a bunch of your photo's for future reference in case I need to take something apart and wonder what is behind it or whatever.
(will not repost without permission of course)

Words just can just not express how blown away by all this I am.

I appreciate that! I will be pleased if any of my photos or information helps anyone. I plan on being honest with this process and to provide full disclosure of any issues or challenges I come across.

More to come! Cheers.

Thank you!

I am only a mechanic, not an engineer. You are right, I will certainly be careful. Anyone that tries this needs to be very careful, this thing is heavy and will show no mercy. I plan to add supports under the center of the main supports. I still get nervous working around it but honestly I am nervous around real hydraulic lifts too.

Cheers.

Holy crap. A wooden hoist?!?! Insane in the membrane.

lol, I know! It's a bit nuts but it works and has held up for about a month with no sag or issue. I will admit, I will be happy when the body is back down.

 

[Big Bad Wolf]

This is so awesome!! Definitely the most interestingly engineered build I've ever seen

Thanks! I'm hoping to bring some creativity into the actual build as well. Stay tuned.

Cheers.

Thank you sir. I honestly have no idea how it's all going to work yet! haha.. I may keep the stock display panel until I figure it all out. There is so much electrical, how I wish I could get rid of it.

Cheers.
